[jira] Commented: (HBASE-2032) [EC2] Add support for installation of user packages when instances start up

["Seth Ladd (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2032?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12788615#action_12788615 ] 

Seth Ladd commented on HBASE-2032:
----------------------------------

A better, more flexible way to handle this might be to integrate Chef from Opscode.

http://www.opscode.com/chef/

Chef is a framework for server "recipes"  If you adopt Chef, then you can delegate all of the before/after configuration steps to Chef.

Chef is Apache Licensed.

> Support downloading and installation of user packages at instance boot time. Should pass a list of URLs or a Yum repository URL and list of package names in user data. If given a list of URLs, download them all and then run 'rpm --install' with all included on the command line if the URL ends in '.rpm', or untar in / if the URL ends in '.tar.gz' or '.tgz'. If given a repository and package list, run 'yum install' appropriately.
